Sausage Summer Squash Casserole image

I like to mix it up and add a little color by using zucchini for half the amount of squash but use what you have or what you like. The sausage makes it different than other squash casseroles. I could eat it as a main dish casserole!

Categories     Side Dish

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1-pound package breakfast sausage or 1 pound venison sausage ((Venison Sausage is always an option at my house))
3 medium yellow or zucchini squash (sliced (about 4 cups))
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk or whipping cream
1 clove garlic minced or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup toasted fresh breadcrumbs or 1/3 cup fine dry breadcrumbs ((or 1/2 cup shredded Colby Jack for Keto diet))
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (plus 2 tablespoons for topping)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring to crumble the sausage as it cooks, until browned; drain and discard drippings.
  • Steam the squash in the microwave by placing it in a large microwave-safe glass bowl; add 2 tablespoon water. Cover with plastic wrap. Microwave at HIGH for 3 minutes. Carefully remove the plastic wrap and drain any water in the bowl.
  • To avoid washing a second bowl, push squash to one side of the bowl. In the other side of the bowl, whisk together eggs; gradually add milk. Toss egg mixture and squash together. Add garlic and remaining ingredients and stir together gently.
  • Spoon squash mixture into a greased 11/2-quart casserole dish and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbly around the edges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right summer squash. Look for squash that is firm and has smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid squash that is soft or has bruises or cuts.
  • Prepare the squash properly. Wash the squash thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized pieces. If you are using a variety of squash, cut them into similar-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a variety of sausage. Smoked sausage, Italian sausage, or breakfast sausage are all good options for this stew. You can also use a combination of sausages.
  • Sauté the vegetables before adding the broth. This will help to develop their flavor and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Use a good quality broth. Chicken broth or vegetable broth are both good options. You can also use a combination of the two.
  • Season the stew to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of hot sauce or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
  • Serve the stew hot. Summer squash and sausage stew is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a summer evening.
